Brad Friedel, who served as a board advisor during the crisis period of Hasan Arat in Beşiktaş and was almost dismissed afterward, made striking statements regarding his time at the black-and-white club. Friedel made a shocking claim about Jean Onana, who has been criticized since the day he arrived at Beşiktaş and was recently loaned to Genoa.
After the management crisis experienced during Hasan Arat's period at Beşiktaş, the board advisor Brad Friedel, who was almost dismissed from his position, made striking statements regarding the black-and-whites. Friedel made a remarkable claim about Jean Onana, who was loaned to the Italian team Genoa.
"I SENT 75 PLAYER REPORTS"
In statements to Habertürk, Brad Friedel revealed that he sent 75 player reports to the Arat administration for the January period. Friedel stated, "I sent around 500 reports in total, and for the January period, I sent 75 player reports to the club. These reports are ready. Probably due to the change in management, not much attention was paid to the things left from the old administration."
"BEŞİKTAŞ WILL PAY HALF OF ONANA'S SALARY"
Friedel also noted that the salary standard paid to players at Beşiktaş is very high, and he made striking claims about Jean Onana, who was sent to Genoa. Regarding the issue, Friedel said, "The salaries we pay in our club are well above the standards. That's why it's very difficult to make a sale. Onana has left, yes, but Beşiktaş will pay half of his salary."
BEŞİKTAŞ'S STATEMENT TO KAP ABOUT ONANA
It was announced that Jean Onana, who fell short of expectations at Beşiktaş, was loaned to the Italian team Genoa with a purchase option. The KAP notification made by the black-and-white club is as follows;
"Our club has reached an agreement with Genoa Cricket and Football Club S.P.A. and the player regarding the temporary transfer of our professional footballer Jean Emile Junior ONANA ONANA until the end of the 2024-2025 season. According to the agreement, Genoa Cricket and Football Club S.P.A. has a purchase option."
HOW MUCH IS HIS SALARY?
Jean Onana receives an annual salary of 1.6 million euros from Beşiktaş. According to Brad Friedel's claim, Beşiktaş will continue to pay 800,000 euros of this amount. Furthermore, it was suggested that Genoa's purchase option for the Cameroonian player's transfer fee is 1.2 million euros.
BEŞİKTAŞ NUMBERS
In the summer of 2023, Jean Onana, who transferred to Beşiktaş from the French team Lens for 4 million euros, fell short of expectations and was frequently criticized, appearing in 16 matches for the black-and-whites. The Cameroonian midfielder, who did not score in these matches, managed to make only 1 assist. The 25-year-old player had also spent the second half of last season on loan at Marseille. Onana, whose current market value is shown as 3 million euros, has a contract with Beşiktaş until 2027.
